TribLocal is reporting that an Aurora woman who was traveling eastbound on I-88 Saturday evening saw "money flying all over the road." She said drivers were pulling over onto the shoulder to grab whatever money they could, almost causing an accident.

The Porsche driver's erratic behavior continued until he used an emergency turnaround near Morton Arboretum in Lisle and headed eastbound in the westbound lanes, crashing head-on into a Toyota Corolla.
